“These are public policies that we are implementing to strengthen one of the most neglected areas of our city,” stated the Mayor. “The plan you have here in Concordia has a lot to do with who we are,” highlighted Susana Edjang, representative of the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF) in Argentina.
On Tuesday morning, Mayor Francisco Azcué led the signing of the execution agreement for the disbursement of non-reimbursable resources for technical cooperation, within the framework of the Northwest Zone Revitalization Project, carried out by the Municipal Autonomous Housing and Land Institute (InVyTAM).
The ceremony took place in the Mayors' Hall and was attended by Susana Edjang, representative of the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF) in Argentina and Eduardo Amadeo, president of the Social Observatory Civil Association.
The agenda of activities included a meeting with the Municipal Cabinet, a visit to the northwest zone where 131 housing solutions were built jointly by the Municipality, the Provincial Government, and the TECHO Foundation, as well as the relocation of families living in socio-environmental emergency situations, an action carried out with the Municipality of Concordia's own resources and neighborhood improvement plans. Finally, a meeting was held with NGOs from our city.
CHALLENGE AND NEGLECT
In this regard, Mayor Azcué remarked that this action is framed within the pillars that align his administration, such as human development, productive development, and order, “with the challenge of transforming Concordia so that it may once again be a land of progress and opportunities, where we can carry out a life project.”
And that is where the Northwest Zone Revitalization Project promoted by the INVyTAM gains prominence. “These are public policies that we are implementing to strengthen one of the most neglected areas of our city,” and for that, it is important to continue working with different institutions, not only from our country but also from others that transcend the borders of Argentina.
“We are connecting with prestigious institutions that have become interested in the Concordia case because the goal is not only to obtain resources, but to apply and use them in a program that has a serious, solid foundation, so that when we have to invest in infrastructure or social programs, it makes sense and the impact is positive.”
SYNCHRONY
Susana Edjang celebrated the synchrony regarding the common interests that exist between the current administration and the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean: “The plan you have here in Concordia has a lot to do with who we are as a Development Bank, with a focus on regional integration, added to sustainable and inclusive development.”
In that sense, she stressed that the perspective of the public policies undertaken by this administration “puts people at the center, with seriousness, with this monitoring, with data management, so that all of this can be measurable and the impact can also be planned.”
For his part, Eduardo Amadeo maintained that “Concordia is a challenge for Argentines, which will be overcome by will, by capacity, by work. I have had several hours of work with the current cabinet and I love what they know, what they feel, and the desire they have,” highlighting that “what we are going to do, from the Social Observatory, is to help them think, to work, bringing people who have experience to accompany them in their decisions, and we hope to be able to lay the foundations for a larger project.”
PARTICIPATION
After the signing, a tour of the northwest sector of the city was carried out, ending with a meeting with members of intermediate associations, such as Volando Alto, the Nuestros Cinco Panes Foundation, and Círculo Virtuoso.
Giuliano Rossi, head of the INVyTAM, explained that the actions, activities, and programs undertaken are related to “the four lines of work that we carry out, which are relocation, urban development, access to land, and neighborhood improvement,” recalling that “approximately a month ago we inaugurated housing for families in socio-environmental emergency situations, we developed sidewalks and pedestrian paths in that sector, and this week we are starting the installation of urban signage and a tree-planting plan, in conjunction with the Secretariat of Urban Development.”
Rossi made it clear that to achieve these objectives, “the participation of all actors is vital, and we have public-private articulation as a working principle, so that projects emerge, grow, and are beneficial to the community as a whole.”
Participating in the various activities were the Vice Mayor and President of the Deliberative Council Magdalena Reta de Urquiza; the Secretary of Government Luciano Dell´Olio, the Secretary of Urban Development Alejandro López, the Secretary of Human Development Sebastián Arístide; Marcelo Ugo, from the Social Observatory Civil Association; members of the INVyTAM, among others.
